Ghee, called the best of all fats in Ayurveda, is mainly used in fine cuisine. Cooking, frying, baking and roasting spices are the most common uses. Ghee can be heated to a relatively high temperature without sacrificing quality.

Another use of ghee is to nourish the sense organs. Especially when one is exhausted or overstimulated, the pure butter fat has a particularly beneficial effect.

To do this, put some ghee in a small tin, just as you would store a cosmetic.

If you do not like the smell of ghee, you can add a few drops of aroma oil to the cosmetic tin with ghee, depending on the leading dosha: Vata aroma oil for Vata, Pitta aroma for Pitta and Kapha aroma for Kapha dominance.

Apply ghee in small amounts to all sense organs before sleeping:

• With the middle finger on both eyelids

• With the index finger in both ears

• With the little finger in both nostrils

• With the flat of the hand on the forehead and temples

Leave the ghee on for a few minutes and then wipe off any residue that is not absorbed with a cosmetic tissue.

Sleep well!
